Iowa ACEs Research

Central Iowa ACEs 360 has led efforts to research and analyze how adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) impact the health and well-being of Iowans.
2016 ACEs Report

The 2016 Iowa ACEs report - Beyond ACEs: Building Hope & Resiliency in Iowa - examines three years of data collected among Iowa adults measuring eight types of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). Our analysis shows that most Iowa adults have experienced childhood trauma, an indicator of higher rates of chronic diseases, mental illness, violence, risky behaviors, and reduced life expectancy. The report reveals how ACEs impact Iowans across the state. It also showcases emerging opportunities to respond to trauma.

The analysis and report was commissioned by Central Iowa ACEs 360, with generous funding by Mid-Iowa Health Foundation. Iowa data is collected through the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System. To learn more about the methodology and data collection, please visit http://www.idph.state.ia.us/brfss/.
